Answer:
Cheryl's age = x = 7 years
Rita's age = y = 17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cheryl's age = x
Rita's age = y
Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl
(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)
y - 2 = 3x - 6
y = 3x - 6 + 2
= 3x - 4
y = 3x - 4
In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl
(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)
y + 3 = 2x + 6
y = 2x + 6 - 3
= 2x + 3
y = 2x + 3
Equate both equations
3x - 4 = 2x + 3
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 3 + 4
x = 7 years
Substitute x = 7 into
y = 2x + 3
= 2(7) + 3
= 14 + 3
= 17
y = 17 years
Cheryl's age = x = 7 years
Rita's age = y = 17 years
Using the Central Limit Theorem, the correct option is:
(c) Average number of miles put on a rental car per day across 25 customers.
--------------------------
The Central Limit Theorem states that, for a normally distributed variable X, with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the sample means of size m are approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation 
.
- The interpretation related to this problem is that the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
- Thus, among the options, the largest sample is 25, thus, option c will have the smallest standard deviation.

Answer:
For 17 it's 5: 7.5 i hope it helps?
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we do this problem, let's go over a little algebra terminology.
The number in front of your variable is called your <em>coefficient </em>and notice that the <em>x</em> at the end of the problem does not have a coefficient.
When that happens, when there is no number in front of your variable, you can put a 1 there to fill that position. So -x can be thought of as -1x.
Next let's change all our minus signs to plus negatives.
So the problem reads 3x + 5 + 7x + -3 + -1x + 2.
Now let's simplify this by combining like terms.
We can combine our "x" terms first.
3x + 7x + -1x simplifies to +9x.
Now, 5 + -3 + 2 simplifies to 4.
So our answer is 9x + 4.
